Harvard trained architect, mother of twins and artist, Laura Segal is undoubtedly a busy lady. Viewing this talented artist’s work, it’s easy to see the influence of her architectural background. And, viewing Laura Segal’s blog, it’s easy to see how beautiful her paintings look installed in their new surroundings. For more of Ms. Segal’s work, you can check out her site, her blog and her etsy shop, all here. Enjoy!
For quite some time, I’d been looking to replace two very worn throw pillows in our family room. This room’s a high traffic area, right off the kitchen and favored by my three children, I didn’t want to spend a lot. While shopping in Greenwich, I came across two beautiful Suzani pillows that I knew would be perfect, but at $225.00 each, I decided to keep looking. On a whim, I googled the name of the fabric (I took home a “tear sheet” from the shop). I was more than thrilled to see the name of Etsy seller Turquoise Tumbleweed come up in my search results! Not only did this store carry my exact pillows, but they were only $59.00 each! I found so many additional options that I had a hard time choosing, but ended up sticking with my initial choice. I love that they have this textural 3D quality to them. Here is a shot of the old pillow, the new and some more great pillows from Turquoise Tumbleweed, which is really worth checking out… they’re all lovely!

It was a lot of fun meeting up with so many of the people behind the blogs!
My only regret was not meeting everyone that I’d hoped to meet.
It was a jammed packed day full of design related events, I only wish there was more time between lectures for intros and photo ops.
Here are some of the ladies I met.
Others not shown that I had the pleasure of chatting with are Chassity from Look, Linger, Love, Linda from Surroundings, Janell from Isabella and Max Rooms, Stacy from StacyStyle, Marisa from StyleBeat, Nicole from Sketch42, Stacy from Quintessence and so many more…
It’s always great to meet with fellow bloggers because we share all these common interests.
Speaking of all things “blogging” I hope you’ll check out my interview over at the Blogstress Network where they were kind enough to feature The Zhush as the blog of the month!
Thanks ladies!
